Marcell Ozuna Has Been Worse Than Rowdy Tellez
from North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast · host North Shore Nine
Marcell Ozuna was supposed to be one of the Pirates’ biggest offensive additions this offseason, but through more than 200 plate appearances, the production still has not been there. On today’s episode of OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at Ozuna’s slow start, how it compares to past veteran struggles from Rowdy Tellez and Tommy Pham, and why the DH-only profile makes this situation different for the Pirates. Brandon Lowe and Ryan O’Hearn have become major pieces of the lineup, but Ozuna’s bat still has not followed.
